$Micron Technology(MU)$ ๐ 25 October 2026 Market Recap: Gold Falls, Stocks Retreat and AI Supply Risks Take Centre Stage ๐ 1๏ธโฃ Why Is the Market Falling Today? Todayโs market action is a reminder that even when investors have strong long-term reasons to own stocks and gold, prices can still fall sharply when interest-rate expectations, energy prices and geopolitical risks move against them. On 22 October 2026, gold came under renewed pressure, while US equity markets showed broad weakness, particularly in technology and AI-related shares. The key development is that rising oil prices are adding to inflation concerns. That creates a difficult combination for financial markets: investors must consider the possibility of higher borrowing costs at

Appleโs $2,000 Foldable iPhone: A Luxury Product or Its Next Growth Engine?
$Apple(AAPL)$ first foldable iPhone has finally arrived, and the early signs point to strong demand. But for investors, the bigger question is whether this launch can create a meaningful new revenue stream or simply add another expensive product to Appleโs existing lineup. The iPhone Duo went on sale globally on October 23, starting at around $1,999 in the US. Pre-orders reportedly pushed estimated delivery dates to late January within minutes, while Apple limited purchases and restricted some in-store sales because of supply constraints. Three developments worth watching: ๐ฑ 1. Premium pricing could support revenue growth At approximately $2,000, the Duo sits firmly in the luxury end of the smartphone market. If customers are willing to pay t
Nvidia: The Safest Way to Play AI, or a Risk Hiding in Plain Sight?
Nvidiaโs stock has risen around 14% this year, only slightly ahead of the S&P 500. For a company at the centre of the AI boom, that is a surprisingly modest performance. But the investment debate is changing. Instead of chasing every company linked to AI spending, Wall Street is becoming more selective, paying closer attention to debt, valuations and whether todayโs massive infrastructure investments can generate sustainable returns. That shift raises an interesting question: Could Nvidia become a relatively defensive choice for investors who still want exposure to AI? 1. Nvidia sells the picks and shovels of the AI boom One argument in Nvidiaโs favour is that it does not need to predict which AI company will ultimately win. Whether cloud providers compete to build better models or AI
3 companies of Mag 7 reporting earnings this week. Fireworks or demolition?
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.โ $Microsoft(MSFT)$$Amazon.com(AMZN)$$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ are reporting earnings respectively this coming week. Will they struggle to justify their AI spending like $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ which pullback significantly post earnings? Or will they soar to greater heights and break new highs? Additionally, the fed rate announcement is happening this week as well. So it will be wise to not over-leverage yourselves with additional positions, unless your trading system thrives on

Bloom Energy Fell 11%. The AI Power Story Is Not Broken, But the Valuation Has Changed the Rules.
Bloom Energy closed at $193.30, down 11.24%, despite numbers many companies would love to report: Revenue: $1.24B, +138% Non-GAAP EPS: $0.94, above expectations FY revenue guidance: $4.4B-$4.6B Gross-margin guidance: 34.5% So why is BE falling? Because at roughly 250x trailing earnings, investors are no longer asking: โCan Bloom grow?โ They are asking: โWhen does extraordinary growth become extraordinary cash flow?โ ๐ข WHY I AM NOT BEARISH ON THE BUSINESS Bloom sits directly inside one of AI's biggest bottlenecks: POWER. AI data centres need enormous amounts of reliable electricity, and grid connections can take years. Bloom's fuel-cell systems offer something extremely valuable: power that can potentially be deployed faster and closer to where data centres actually need it. The AI infrastr
Moderna Fell 17%. The Trial Worked. So Why Did the Stock Collapse?
This is one of the strangest biotech reactions of the week. Moderna's personalised cancer vaccine, intismeran, combined with Merck's Keytruda showed in more than 1,100 melanoma patients: 42% lower risk of recurrence or death 38% lower risk of distant metastasis or death No new safety signals Those sound like excellent Phase 3 results. Yet MRNA collapsed roughly 17.6%, briefly touching $183 before recovering toward $200. So what went wrong? I think the answer is simple: The science beat the control arm. It did not beat the market's expectations. ๐ข WHAT THE TRIAL ACTUALLY PROVED The biggest positive is not merely the 42% number. Moderna has now taken personalised mRNA cancer therapy through a large Phase 3 study and demonstrated meaningful clinical benefit. That matters because the entire po
A 70% Win Rate Still Hands You 4 Losses In A Row, 43% Of The Time Over 100 Trades
4 losses in a row with a 70% win rate. Your system didn't break. You just met math. Over 100 trades, there is a 43% chance of at least one streak like that. Why a streak feels like a signal Four losses in a row feels like a pattern. It feels like something changed. So the instinct is to fix a rule, tighten a filter, or skip the next setup. That instinct has a cost. If you change the rules in the middle of a sample, you delete the evidence you were collecting. Here is how to check whether the streak means anything before you touch a thing. The three checks Check one: find your real win rate over a decent sample. Count wins and trades from your journal. Use the whole record, not the last month. In the example below the win rate is 70%. Check two: ask how often a streak this long happens by c

$IREN ($24.91) Seller Exhaustion Signal: Why Friday's 41% Volume Drop at the $24.86 Floor Sets Up a High-Beta Reversal
$IREN Ltd(IREN)$ took a 21% beating over the last 5 sessions, flushing to a $24.86 52-week low on Thursday on massive capitulation volume (66.75M shares). Look closely at what happened on Friday (Oct 23): price re-tested that exact floor ($24.88 low, closing at $24.91), but volume contracted by 41% down to 39.06M shares. In Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), re-testing a climax low on sharply declining volume is a textbook signature of supply exhaustion. With a 5GW power pipeline, a live Microsoft contract, a J.P. Morgan double-upgrade to Buy, and a 4.27 beta, $IREN moves fast once supply clears. Here is the full technical map for the week
$MU ($877.55) Weekly Playbook: Why Friday's Bounce off the $850 Double-Bottom Sets Up a Run to $950 Into Tuesday's SK Hynix & Taoyuan Catalysts
While the rest of the memory sector kept sliding after Western Digital's capex warning, $Micron Technology(MU)$ stepped up on Friday (+2.46% to $877.55) after successfully defending its $849.25โ$858.34 double-bottom support zone. With Q4 earnings already behind it ($54.23B revenue, $68.3B net cash, and Q1 gross margins guided to ~86.25%), Micron has zero earnings-print gamble this week and trades at just 11.8x trailing P/E. Tuesday (Oct 27) is the pivot day with Taoyuan union talks and SK hynix Q3 numbers dropping. Here is the full VSA and execution plan.
Iggyโs Journal: SGX Weekly Review: One Winner Trades in US Dollars, One Is Also US-Listed. What Changes for You?
Iggyโs Journal: SGX Weekly Review: One Winner Trades in US Dollars, One Is Also US-Listed. What Changes for You? Sunday 25 Oct 2026 | Afternoon The Numbers From the weekly review: JMH rose a little over 5% in US dollars across the five trading days. AvePoint, another name in the review, is listed in both the United States and Singapore. An illustration from the episode, with made-up numbers: a share priced at US$10 rises to US$10.50, a gain of 5%. A S$13 starting value becomes S$13.02 after the exchange rate weakens, which implies a move from about S$1.30 to S$1.24 per US dollar (my back-calculation). My Personal Take A percentage without its currency is half a sentence. In the example, a 5% gain in US dollars moved a S$13 holding by 2 cents. The AvePoint half interests me more, because a
Stock Crashed 65%. Investors Lost Confidence. Raised $1.6 Billion. Share Count Nearly Doubled. Still Betting Big on AI.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ A company whose stock crashed more than 60%โฆ A company that still hasnโt consistently made real profitsโฆ โฆis now preparing to challenge the biggest names in the U.S. optical communications industry. Even crazier? While the stock was free-falling, management didnโt shrink. They did the opposite. They leased an entire massive industrial park and are massively expanding optical module production capacity.Theyโre going up against giants like Lumentum and Coherent โ companies with deep technology, strong balance sheets, and years of dominance.So how does a much smaller company dare to make this move at the worst possible time for its stock price? And why is it openly targeting the #1 position in U.S.-based AI
Why the Hang Seng Tech Index Smashed Below 4,000 & How to Play the Dip
๐๐๐The Hang Seng Tech Index has broken below the critical 4,000 point psychological threshold, plunging to a multi year low. This sudden breakdown has wiped off millions in market value from Chinese Tech Titans like Alibaba, Tencent and NetEase. While the headline drop looks alarming, the underlying dynamics reveal a classic "valuation killing" driven by macroeconomic and liquidity pressures rather than a structural collapse in corporate fundamentals. 3 Pressures Driving the Selloff 1. The Offshore Tax Drag An unique internal liquidity crunch hit the market recently. This period marked the final deadline of a 90 day window granted for offshore trusts to settle mainland back taxes. As a result, the offshore trusts had to reduce their equity stakes, t
For months, investors have focused almost exclusively on the upside of the AI revolution. Whatโs receiving far less attention is the growing cost of turning that vision into reality. SPCX META Two of the biggest names tied to the AI buildout, $SpaceX(SPCX)$ and $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , are beginning to send the same message: future growth will require enormous amounts of capital. That reality is starting to matter. Growth Isn't Free SpaceX continues to pursue increasingly ambitious projects spanning launch infrastructure, satellite networks, and AI-related initiatives. The opportunity is massive, but so is the funding requirement. Many analysts believe the company will eventually need access to unpr
A very choppy week has ended, bringing the anticipated vanishing bounce. The Volatility Index ( $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ ), $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , and $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ have been studied with clear indicators, and their setups anticipated both the previous weekโs decline and the recent choppy price action closing in the red. This weekโs bearish trigger came from the technology sector, driven this time by capital expenditure concerns for $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , which turned negative in free cash flow; the market simply needed a catalyst, and it arrived from the corporate front. What is particularly interesting is
I'm not usually one to call bottoms, but $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ is showing several technical signals that make this area worth watching. Semiconductors have found support at the year-to-date anchored VWAP โ the same level that held in late July before the ETF rallied back above $630. There's another reason this zone matters: the 200-day moving average is sitting right around $515, lining up with the VWAP to create a confluence of two major support levels. ๐ Momentum is also showing a potential shift. RSI has formed a bullish divergence. Price made a lower low, while RSI made a higher low, suggesting selling momentum may be fading. ๐ฏ Key levels to watch: Support: Around $515, where the YTD anchored VWAP and 200-day MA converge First upside
